Look – Make Up For Ever: Green & Blue

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

So much for having mastered false lashes! Trying to use them in this look turned out to be more disaster than gorg. Good thing this was just for fun and not going out, because then I would have been upset rather than just a little disappointed it didn’t all wrap up into a nice little bow. This is a very OTT look, and it was deliberately made that way. I’d probably wear it out, but I totally understand if anyone feels it’s a bit too bright/much for the grocery store Besides, it looked good from afar, and nobody should be standing THISCLOSE to my eyes anyway, right?!

For those wondering, you can purchase Make Up For Ever at Sephora.com.

Oh girl, i would totally wear this out too. I wear bold & bright colors to work all the time & I work in an office setting for a business man who is very well known in the media so most would think you’d have to be super conservative. Bright colors are me & I obviously do my best to make it tasteful. I think my co-workers now just look to see “what color she’s gonna wear today”!! LOL

You did an amazing job Christine with this…A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! That electric green is phenomenal & you just totally solidified my decision to get UD Naked lipstick. Totally gawgeous!!

What gorgeous dimension you created on the eye! That is talent! This is probably a dumb question, but are the Makeup Forever eyeshadows waterproof? I know they make a lot of waterproof products, so I was just wondering.

Wow, it is OTT, but fantastic! Would be a lot more wearable without the bright green all around the eyes, imo. I love the lips and the whole face pictures. Might have to check out that Naked lipstick after all.

This is a pretty fun look! Quite strong, as you say but I think it’s fun to try out bright colourful looks sometimes. The blending of the colours is awesome – the colours seem to blend in so seamfully.
